The Icon Raiden Triumph 800XC is what dirty dreams are made of

Rally-prepped and entirely badass.

The Triumph Tiger 800XC is an ADV titan right out of the box, but it's not the sort of bike you'd throw at the Mexican 1000. Icon Motorsports, Triumph, and Motorworks Chicago set about changing that, and the result is a pair of wicked, rally-prepped machines. The parts list reads like a daydream.

The wrenches at Motorworks Chicago chucked the stock suspension for Öhlins bits, Safari Tank Australia threw in a new large-capacity fuel tank, and Rally Raid added some armoring and a rear fuel tank to the mix. There's a custom nav panel, eyes-of-God lighting by PIAA, and a pair of Woody's superlaced tubeless wheels for each bike.

Do. Want.

Mark Vanscourt and Johnny Scheff helmed the white bike, while Joe Bolton and Ernie Vigil campaigned the yellow monster. Bolton and Vigil DNF'd despite setting a top speed of 132 mph during day two. A broken shock and a particularly nasty hit on the left foot peg meant neither the bike nor Vigil would be the same for the rest of the race.

Vanscourt and Scheff managed a 19th-place finish, completing the course in 29 hours, 37 minutes and 50 seconds, including two hours' worth of penalties. Winner Mark Winkelman wrapped up the event with a time of 16:22:14.
